i'm starting to find it extremely interesting how many small things i may not immediately take note of that add up to one fighter dominating the other.

ezzard charles letting his opponent walk into that right hand is an immediate example of something so minute that could end a fight in seconds.

i saw a video of how pacquiao was countering cotto's jab (a hook over the jab being an obvious counter) but i was just wondering if there were more out there that i, and other learning board members, could be directed to.

Great find. Just finished watching all four videos. Would love to see more if anyone has any links.

this is the video of how pacquiao was reacting to cotto's jab. not really the same type of breakdown as the other videos but still paints a good enough picture to give some of my fellow southpaws (or orthodox fighters going against southpaws) some ideas.

an interesting quote to help analysis of the mayweather/ mosley fight as a bonus:

On the Shane Mosley right hand that hurt him, yet again.

Of course, this is a contact sport. Anything can happen. This was the 41st fight of my career, like I said before, anything can happen. But my job is like being a cop: One shot can end your entire career. So me, just being a sharp fighter, I went back to my corner.

My corner really wasn't tripping. They told me, 'Floyd, just relax and do what you do.' My uncle, [Roger Mayweather,] said, 'Just relax and do what you do.' And I turned around and asked my father [Floyd Mayweather Sr.], 'What's going on?'

And he said, 'You know what you've got to do.' My father said, 'Just stick to the game plan, I told you what you've got to do.' Third round, we came out, we pressed the attack. But we were smart. We broke with the left hook when he tried to use the same shot.

It was that same shot that he knocked Fernando Vargas out with. I said, 'He likes to break with the left hook too.' I think that, just, mentally, I'm a smarter fighter. I think that a lot of fighters fight off of strength. Other fighters worry about who's the fastest. I just work on timing and being smart.

I was getting my left over his right hand. I was also getting a full, right-hand counter over his left jab so that he would stop using his jab.

Pacquiao Dominates Left Hookers all the time!!! I have this analyzed after I watched How Pac dominates Barrera in the 1st fight. I watched that Fight more than 20X and in Slomo! That's why when the Pac-DLH was proposed I was very excited coz I know Pac will dominate.

Today's Pacquiao is much improved. He used to have problems defending Jabs from his opponent. Now he's using a slight head Movement and counter with a Straight left in one action. He basically using the same Movement to dodge Straight Rights. No wonder Floyd dont want a Piece of Pacquiao anymore!!!
